Review of Patrick McNeese performance at Natasha's
from NORTH OF LIMESTONE music reviewer Buck Edwards.

"My powers of description, both written and oral, are severely limited, owing to the fact that I suffer from hypermasculinity. I suspect that some chromosomal abnormality is to blame, though I’ve never actually had that checked. But all the usual symptoms are there: brutish physical strength, Byronic virility, male pattern baldness—those sorts of things. In fact, it was only with Helen Keller-like effort that I ever learned to put together a sentence in English, as my genetic inclination is to speak in a series of unintelligible grunts.

So it’s difficult for me to write about, to describe certain forms of music, particularly those forms which employ anything resembling sensitivity or grace. Slayer, for example, I’m good with, but Sade, not so much.

What does all this mean to you? Well, this fellow name of Patrick McNeese is playing a show, and you might or might like to attend, right? As such, my duty, in theory, is to write a bit about Mr. McNeese’s music, what’s interesting about it, what’s compelling, and maybe compare it to similar musics, in the hope of striking a chord with you, the reader. But when I listen to his songs, I sort of realize in the abstract that they’re pretty great, but then I look within myself for the vocabulary to describe what I’m hearing, and there’s just nothing.

What’s happening is that McNeese’s music is asking me to access the part of the brain that controls emotions such as affection, empathy, and hope, whereas I’m only able to feel lust, hostility, and despair. That said, I also think, based on a lifetime of observations of human behavior, that if you go to this show you will probably wind up making love with someone later that night. Which is more or less the opposite of the effect of a Slayer show.'

So maybe that’s it, then: Patrick McNeese is the opposite of Slayer. Does that help?"
